Brutal Gestapo Tactics Are Being Used Against Homeowners All Over America

Property rights are being absolutely shredded all over America.  Buying a piece of land and enjoying it with your family has always been a big part of the American Dream.  Unfortunately, in the United States today you don’t actually own your own home.  If you don’t pay your rent (property taxes) your home will be taken away from you, and you are only allowed to use your property in very narrowly defined ways.  The control freaks that run things tell us what we can build on our own property, what we can grow on our own property, what types of gatherings we can have on our own property, how many visitors we can have on our own property and they have imposed very strict rules about how our property must be maintained.  If we get “out of line”, they will use “zoning ordinances” and “code violations” to make our lives a living hell.  All over America today, brutal Gestapo tactics are being used against homeowners that just want to be left alone.  Anyone that has ever dealt with a “compliance officer” or a “nuisance abatement team” knows what I am talking about.  But if we have so very little “freedom” on our own properties, then how in the world can we continue to call this country “the land of the free”?

60 Days In Prison And A $12,180 Fine For Hosting A Home Bible Study In Arizona

The war on home Bible studies and house churches is heating up again.  Down in Phoenix, Arizona a man has been sentenced to 60 days in prison and has been fined $12,180 for hosting a Bible study in his home.  Since 2005, Michael Salman and his wife have been hosting gatherings of about 15 or 20 people where they share food, fellowship and discuss the Bible.  Unfortunately, that kind of thing is against the law in Phoenix, Arizona apparently.  At one point, nearly a dozen armed police officers raided their home and “evidence” of their “crimes” was gathered.  Michael Salman was found guilty of 67 “code violations”, and now he is going to be ripped away from his family and put in prison for two months.  In addition, the assistant city prosecutor is asking the court to “revoke his probation and convert it into a 2 1/2 year jail sentence since he continues to hold worship gatherings on his property despite court orders.”  This kind of case has the potential to have a huge “chilling effect” on home gatherings of all kinds all over the United States.

All Over America Government Control Freaks Are Forcing Preppers Back On To The Grid

In recent years there have been huge numbers of Americans that have sought to go “off the grid” and live a more independent lifestyle.  It has been estimated that there are now approximately 3 million “preppers” in the United States, and many of them just want to be left alone so that they can take care of themselves and their families on their own land.  But that is not the way America works anymore.  In many areas of the country, government control freaks have essentially declared war on preppers and are attempting to force them back on to the grid.  In some states, “nuisance abatement teams” are conducting armed raids on off the grid properties.  Property owners are being cited for “code violations” and are being told that they are “bothering the neighbors”.  In some cases, trees and gardens are being forcibly removed.  In other cases, entire structures are being relocated or torn down.  And in the most extreme cases, property owners are actually being forced off of their properties completely by these control freaks.  You see, the truth is that in America you don’t really own your property.  You are essentially renting it, and you can only do with it what the government allows you to do.  And the government does not like people disconnecting from the grid and living an independent lifestyle.  So these battles over property rights are probably going to get even more intense in the years ahead.
